Studiens syfte var att undersöka om det finns skillnader i elevers fysiska självkänsla beroende på om de läser i en kommunal innerstadsskola eller på en kommunal gymnasieskola i ett område med andra socioekonomiska förutsättningar. Ytterligare ett syfte var att ta reda på om den fysiska självkänslan skiljer sig åt mellan tjejer och killar. Metoden grundar sig på en enkät som består av två delar. Den första sidan innehåller fyra övergripande frågor som vi utformade eftersom vi ville få reda på fakta om eleven. Resterande sidor av enkäten är ifrån CY-PSPP (Children and Youth- Physical Self-Perception Profile) och är reviderad av Whitehead (1995) som ett instrument för att mäta fysisk självkänsla.

This study is based on interviews with six students from Stockholm that have shared their feelings/opinions about how they experience their identity as a student. The aim of this master?s thesis is to examine how the identity of students is constructed but also how the post modern society affects the life that the students are living. With a higher demand on education and responsibility of making the right decisions, the student?s main concern is not only her studies, but also the goal to succeed in her life.

A tragic event in 2012 sparked a debate about the need for a law of civil courage when it became clearthat passivity in situations where people ?s lives are put in danger is not punishable. In this essay based on qualitative interviews with jurists and students of law the issue of civil courage is analyzed with the help of sociological theory. My objective has been to try and find out if a law of civil courage can be motivated with the argument that it would strengthen the public moral. My conclusion is that a law of moral courage is not a suitable way of making people more willing to help others or to strengthen the civil courage or the public moral.

This project has been about making a design suggestion for a boat accessory that adjuststhe distance between a sail-or motorboat and the dinghy, which is connected by a rope inthe stern. Today this is all done by hand and can lead to problems when it comes tostressful situations such as harbors and narrow passages.A company called Sailsafe came up with the idea and the construction, which they alsohave tested. I found them through an acquaintance at Dacat AB where I did an internshipin the fall of 2010.Using sketching as the primary tool I?ve worked in an almost-real design project with theaim to develop my skills and give the company a relevant design suggestion. Dacat thenhelped me with a 3d model in Alias, which was printed in 3d and painted in thepaintworkshop at school..

This report describes the implementation of expense reporting in a mobile web application. Two different types of expenses could be reported: remuneration and time deviations. In addition to the creation of new expenses, existing expenses should be able to be edited or deleted. The implementation would be designed in such a way that it prevents the user from making data entry errors in an intuitive way.  The bachelor?s thesis was performed for Flex Datasystem AB in their mobile web application, Flex WebApp. Due to delimitations made during the project only functionality for the expense-type remuneration was implemented..

International research has shown that through the involvement of the school library and the school librarian in the daily school work with the pupils, the pupil´s learning can be increased and reading comprehensions significantly improved.One purpose of this master`s thesis is to study the school librarian as a brand, representing the school library as well as the school librarian and whether there is a correlation between different comprehensions of the professional role of the school librarian. This is done by examining whether there is a difference between a specific librarian´s own perception of their professional role, compared to the image of the school librarian among teachers and principals working in the same school district and by comparing the profile the school librarian expresses with the image that is conveyed through communications via webpage, written and oral information given on services and competences provided by the school librarian and work carried out by her.A difference of comprehension of the school librarian´s competence and work, could be part of an explanation as to why the correlation between the involvement of school librarians in the school work and the improved learning achievements of the pupils has not resulted in the expected measures, regardless of the investments in school librarians and school libraries. The school librarians´ school identity could be difficult to establish. Whether or not the profiles and images of the professional role are consistent with each other is a much more manageable purpose which could go a long way of explaining the circumstances of the school libraries.That is the reason why we have examined whether the comprehension the school librarians have of themselves corresponds with the idea/ conception/ image conveyed to their surroundings, and with the idea/conception/image encompassed by people in their immediate surroundings..

In today?s IT-community, consumers use the internet in a increasing rate to find information or to purchase products and services.

Denna studie har kvalitativt undersökt följande syfte: (1) att undersöka frivilligt- och spontant visualiseringsanvändande hos styrketränande män utifrån faktorerna; var/när visualiseringen sker, vad visualiseringen innehåller, varför visualisering används, hur visualiseringen används och vilken upplevd effekt visualiseringen ger. I studien deltog 10 styrketränande män som var 19-26 år gamla. Individuella profilen för visualiseringsupplevelser i idrott (eng; Individual profile of imagery experiences in sport (IPIES; Weibull, 2008) modifierades och användes för att besvara studiens syfte.  Det fanns både skillnader och likheter i när, vad, varför, hur och effekten av visualiseringen upplevdes och användes. Resultaten visade att det frivilliga visualiseringsanvändandet var störst innan träning, den frivilliga visualiseringen återfanns även i sammanhang under och efter men inte i lika stor grad. Den spontana visualiseringen var svår för deltagarna att medvetenhetsgöra och därför svårt att dra slutsatser ifrån.

Purpose ? The purpose of this thesis is to develop a total cost model for container transports and create a tool that calculates a suitable transport quantity from an economic view, which fulfills the demands on delivery service. To achieve this purpose the following questions will be answered:Which costs are affected by the decision between the two transport alternatives LCL and FCL?   How does the decision of sending product LCL or FCL influence the delivery service?  How can a tool be constructed to simplify the decision-making process regarding the choice of sending products LCL or FCL?  Method ? A total cost model was developed. This model is supported from existing literature.

North of the city of Stockholm lies the area called Södra Roslagen composed of several municipalities. The purpose of this essay is to discover how local informants describe the food culture of the region and analyse why some types of food are mentioned and others are excluded. Several people within the food industry of Södra Roslagen were given surveys asking them to describe the food habits of the area, from commodities and certain dishes to traditions. These answers were analysed using the theories regional food, regiocentrism, revitalisation, placeless food and the idea of viewing culture through the long and the short perspective.One informant mentioned that professionals in the food industry of the region tend to follow trends from the rest of the world and another that many producers work with ecological requirements. Södra Roslagen was also defined by some as having a taste of summer as this coastal area sees an influx of visitors during that season.

I detta arbete undersöks gymnasieelevers fysiska självuppfattning med instrumentet Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile (CY-PSPP) för att reda ut om det finns samband mellan fysisk självkänsla och subdomäner till den fysiska självkänslan och betyg i kursen idrott och hälsa A. Hur förhållandena ser ut mellan dessa variabler är också centralt. Resultaten som analyseras har samlats in från tre gymnasieskolor i Mellansverige. 184 elever, 79 flickor och 106 pojkar, har fyllt i enkäten. Statistisk analys med chi-tvåtest visar samband mellan betyg i kursen idrott och hälsa A och pojkarnas varseblivning av fysisk självkänsla, fysisk kondition, fysisk styrka och idrottslig kompetens där pojkar som avslutat kursen med höga betyg har höga värden och det motsatta förhållandet gäller för elever i den lägre delen av betygskalan.

Bakgrund: Vår självskattade fysiska självkänsla är av betydelse för vår motivation att vilja vara fysiskt aktiv. Det har även visat sig i tidigare forskning att högre fysisk självkänsla påverkar elevers resultat i skolan positivt. Syftet med arbetet var att se vilka samband det fanns mellan fysisk självkänsla och elevers närvaro i idrott och hälsa. Metod: Två klasser på en skola i sydöstra Sverige deltog i undersökningen, HT -12. Studien bygger på en kvantitativ undersökning i form av en redan framtagen enkät: ?Sådan är jag! ? barn?, även kallad CY-PSPP (Children and Youth ? Physical Self Perception Profile).
